Total price: £3 (The fabric was from the remnant bin in my local fabric shop and the pattern was free – I do love a bargain!)

For the first time this year, I managed to finish a challenge in time. Hoorah! Ok, so I cheated and I made small little bloomers but hey, I’m not complaining as I still haven’t finished my UFO from last week’s UFO challenge…

Does it still count as part of the red theme if there is only a bit of red in it? Unfortunately I’m just one of those people that clashes with red and I wouldn’t want to inflict anyone with images of that! I would definitely recommend this project to everyone, it’s really quick, easy and great as a beginner’s project. The only alteration I made was to alter the position of the ribbons from the front to the side, so you can’t really see them in the pictures.

About the Sew Weekly

The Sew Weekly began as Mena Trott's attempt to document the process of sewing all of her own clothes in 2010. In 2011, four other contributors (Debi Fry, Adey Lim, Veronica Darling & Sarah Gabbart) joined her and for 52 weeks, they sewed based on a particular weekly theme. In 2012, The Sew Weekly became a much larger group blog with over 130 contributors sewing along each week.
